I’m trying to create a paginated view pages (rails 1.2.5). According  
to my sources, the paginate controller method accepts a symbol for a  
model name, but I’d rather pass in an array of the same models,  
because I’m trying to list out models that ‘belongs\_to’ other models.  
Is there a way to do a customizable paginate?

Thanks in advance!
